Vynca

Behind every care plan is a person. A person with symptoms to manage, questions to answer, worries to carry, and moments at home they want to protect. Our latest blog explores how Vynca’s palliative care team looks beyond the chart to support the full reality of serious illness: physical symptoms, emotional needs, social challenges, spiritual concerns, care decisions, and the everyday details that shape quality of life. Because better serious illness care starts with seeing the person behind the diagnosis.

Mental health is part of the serious illness experience. For patients living with serious illness, anxiety, depression, fear, caregiver stress, social isolation, and uncertainty are not separate from clinical care. They can affect symptoms, treatment adherence, quality of life, and whether a person is able to remain safely at home. In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, our Chief Medical Officer, Jill Schwartz-Chevlin, MD, MBA, FACP, shares why whole-person serious illness care must address more than the diagnosis. At Vynca, we believe care should support the full picture: physical symptoms, emotional well-being, social needs, spiritual concerns, caregiver dynamics, and what matters most to the patient and family. 💜 Read the full blog 👇 https://lnkd.in/gi4edTrS #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #PalliativeCare #SeriousIllnessCare #WholePersonCare #ValueBasedCare

Why does our healthcare system so often wait for a crisis before surrounding seriously ill patients with the support they need? That question is at the center of Vynca’s recent feature on The Aging Well Podcast: “Why Healthcare Waits for Crisis: Fixing the System.” In the episode, Vynca CMO, Jill Schwartz-Chevlin, MD, MBA, FACP, discusses why serious illness care too often begins after an emergency department visit, hospitalization, or moment of decline — and why earlier, more proactive support can make a meaningful difference for patients and families. The conversation explores how palliative care can help people living with serious illness navigate care with more clarity, comfort, and control, while supporting better coordination across the healthcare system. We’re grateful for the opportunity to raise awareness, challenge misconceptions, and continue the conversation about how serious illness care can happen earlier, at home, and around what matters most to the patient.

Avoidable hospitalizations are often a sign that people with serious illness are not getting the right support early enough. For health plans and providers, the challenge is not just reducing utilization. It is identifying members sooner, coordinating care more proactively, and helping patients and families manage complex needs before a crisis happens. In our latest blog, we explore how home-based palliative care can help reduce avoidable hospitalizations by delivering whole-person support where patients need it most: at home.

A nurse visit is never just a visit. 💜 It can be a moment of clarity for a family. A medication concern caught early. A symptom addressed before it becomes a crisis.

Happy Nurses Day to our incredible nursing team — and to nurses everywhere! #NursesDay #NursesWeek #ThankYouNurses #PalliativeCare #SeriousIllnessCare #Vynca

Too often, decisions about care are made in moments of crisis—when it’s hardest to speak up. Advance Care Planning changes that.

April 16 is National Healthcare Decisions Day — a reminder that better care starts with clarity. 💜 For people living with serious illness, the most important decisions often happen long before a crisis. But too often, those conversations are delayed or never happen at all. Advance Care Planning helps people define what matters most — their goals, their preferences, their voice in care. Palliative care helps bring that to life — with specialized medical support focused on comfort, coordination, and quality of life. Together, they ensure care is aligned, proactive, and centered around the person — not just the condition. Because everyone deserves care that reflects what matters most to them. Make your wishes known. 💜

Nicole Kidman recently shared that she’s training to become a death doula—sparked by her own experience supporting her mother at the end of life. It’s a reminder of how much people need support, not just medically, but emotionally and humanly, during life’s most difficult moments. In a recent HuffPost article, Vynca Chief Medical Officer, Jill Schwartz-Chevlin, MD, MBA, FACP, adds important perspective on the role death doulas can play in creating space for open dialogue and helping patients and families honor what matters most. As Dr. Schwartz-Chevlin puts it: “When we face the end of life, we want someone close who can help us understand that we are human.” These conversations matter—because better understanding leads to better, more compassionate care. 🔗 Read more 👇 https://lnkd.in/gQQrJRtm
